this zoe/michael crap is ruining the final week

I actually find the whole Estelle/Michael thing the least interesting at the moment. Especially as I do think it's all about public support and not about anything else. Zoe's meltdown makes it entertaining. We actually get to see real and not game planned emotions, which is quite nice to see at this stage of the game. Ok so her reaction isn't nice and is doing her no favours whatsoever, but it's honest and there doesn't seem to be that much honesty in the house at the moment. Can't say that Sam and Layla hold much interest either.

I find I'm watching it for the dog! Don't know what I'll do on Monday when she's gone!

I'm struggling with it too. Probably because it feels like Michael is being hugely disingenuous? He's basically nommed her every week and even said once that the whole house hates her so it feels somewhat strange that he would get close to her so close to the end/after he's found out just how popular she is/after he has previously maintained that he would never want to have a 'romance' in the house.

I'd love to say that's what bothers me, but it's not. In fact, if I truly believed this was all about strategy, I would love to watch it. For me, it's much more basic. There's something unnatural about it. I think it's something about Michael. I was positive he was gay. I think I would be less bothered to see him kissing a man. But also... I think I perceive him as being dirty. I see him take showers but I still feel he's unclean - like his breath would stink and his nails are dirty. And even after saying all of that, I still don't think I've hit the nail on the head.

Well I find the whole thing intriguing. So much better than watching Layla and Sam forever lazing about snuggle up together or watching Layla eating. Michael and Estellle - Is it real?, Do they both have feelings for each other?, Is it strategy?, Are they both playing the public for mugs? Is Zoe going to have a massive melt down? Will Ben stop whispering in Zoe ear that she might get with Michael?, Well Ben tell Zoe she acting a a pyshco? Will Layla get the shits because the focus is off her and Sam?
Don't know about anyone else but I find quite entertaining.

Layla doesn't eat. When you see her put stuff into her gob, she is just treating her thyroid.

I think it's just that he's out of his depth with a woman like Estelle. Remember when he first entered the house? He was like a comic figure, a hairy excitable dag. His bromance with Josh and the respect he gained over time from other housemates (probably because of his intelligence) raised his confidence and he found himself in the alpha male role, which he has played with increasing credibility. But just as he had got everyone where he wanted them, he has started falling for 'the tender trap'! So now he finds himself in a situation which in real life he would never have found himself in. As he admitted himself, he's never had any interest shown from a woman as attractive as Estelle. In ladder theory, he is on a different rung to her. That's what's unnatural about it. If he isn't already out of his comfort zone, he soon will be. It could be his undoing.

Agree - totally intriguing.
 
i dont care about the michael estelle thing anyway as estelle is just weird and michael is a creep but its the zoe pining thing, and they MUST be just showing us the 3 times she talks about it in a whole day and making it seem like its all the time.

You can assume anything you want but it wouldn't come as a schock if Zoe is actually broaching this subject quite often during the day.

You can argue she only brings it up 3 times in a day but for all we know it could quite easily be well over 10 times she harps on about it which in that case the editors are going easy on her.

You say Estelle and Michael are weirdos and creeps. Well Zoe is a pathetic loser borderline passive agressive psycho.

No sympathy for Zoe here, the delusional hypocritical lying bitching hippo deserves everything she gets and then some.
 
She mentions him every 30mins I'd say from the live updates.

Zoe opens up about her confused feelings for Michael and his affections for Estelle.

“He tells Benjamin everything and Ben tells me a lot of things,” Zoe explains. “Although Michael finds Estelle attractive - as any guy would - she’s not his type.”

Zoe says she fears her joking about her fond feelings for Michael has left him feeling uneasy.

“I did not want this to happen, I didn’t want him to feel anything back or to feel uncomfortable,” she adds before admitting the more she joked about liking Michael, the more she wondered if she genuinely had feelings for him.

“But then there’s no point to thinking like that,” she says. “We’re just going to be mates. We’re going to walk out of here and laugh at it all.”

She's back to her old dialogue. She's on a loop now. Oops I got crazy again. Better do the self-talk shit. Either that or the shrink is pulling her in line each time she expresses violent feelings towards Stella.

I think that's pretty close to what I'm feeling. The thing is, usually I'd be cheering the underdog on, but I'm not with Michael. I probably would have with Bradley. But maybe I don't see him as the underdog anymore, because of the Zoe issue. Whatever it is, I liked him better when he first walked into the house - wandering around alone, making himself a snack.
 
That was so awkward to watch! Someone really needs to tell the poor girl that it is absolutely not mutual and to stop talking about it... I honestly believe she has, from those few words Michael uttered to Angie ('weird sexual tension') concocted some sort of love story in her mind & think she has a chance of Michael turning around & finally expressing his undying love for her. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
 
I cant bare the Sam and Layla thing. Sam can't leave her alone for one minute.
He even had to suck face while at the big dinner the other night. Yukk
 
Layla is a whinger and now Zoe is as well.
Cant they just let things go and enjoy the last few days.
